CrudenBay is situated on the east coast of Scotland 23 miles north of Aberdeen and 8 miles south of Peterhead.

It is claimed that golf was played in the village of Cruden Bay as early as 1791. The original course, on the present site, was commissioned by the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR) following the expansion of the railways at the end of the 19th century, designed by Old Tom Morris of St Andrews, and opened in 1899.

Cruden Bay offers an internationally famous golfing experience – old fashioned links golf at its best – on one of the best links courses in Scotland, and last year was placed at No 52 in the world by “Golf Magazine”.
